Exercise 1: Prepare your sample data

The tutorial sample data is available from autodesk.com. You need that sample data to use most of the tutorials. (You can work through the Building A Map tutorial using a simulation, which does not require sample data.) Download the zip file for each tutorial you plan to use, and extract it into a subfolder in the \ProgramData\Autodesk\Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D 2022 folder.

To use the sample data

1. Download the zip file containing the data for each tutorials you plan to do from https://www.autodesk.com/map3d-documentation.
2. In the \ProgramData\Autodesk\Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D 2022\ folder, create a Map 3D Tutorials folder.
3. Under the Map 3D Tutorials folder, create a subfolder for each tutorial you plan to do.
4. Extract the zip file for each tutorial into its subfolder.
